Travel Tips - Health

Please beware of any 'henna' tattoos that are black. 'Black Henna' is not real henna, it is not natural and is very dangerous. I was invited in to a Nubian household in Aswan and received one of these and after a few days it burnt in to my leg and I got very sick - two years on I have a pretty burn scar in the shape of a flower on my ankle! Be polite and say no thank you :)
